South Korea exports to extend downturn amid worsening China outlook: Reuters poll

South Korea's exports likely fell in August for an 11th consecutive month, a Reuters survey showed on Wednesday, as economic recovery in top export market China continues to stutter. Outbound shipments are expected to have fallen 11.6% in August from the same month the year before, showed the median estimate of 22 economists in the survey conducted Aug. 21-29. Pessimism is growing around China's economy, beset with real estate troubles, while demand is also weakening in other regions.
